Abstract : This study is an acoustic study of the word initial aspirated and non-aspirated voiceless consonant stops of the Basque dialect of Zuberoa. Using data from four speakers aged 66 to 80, we measured the Voice Onset Time (hence, VOT) of the voiceless stops of such dialect. Those measurements showed that the Zuberoan dialect of Basque has two sets of consonant stops, the VOT being larger in the aspirated stops than in the non-aspirated ones. Moreover, we observed that the accent does not affect the VOT of each set of stops (unlike in English, for example). Finally, VOT is known to vary with place of articulation. Besides, as expected among the aspirated and non-aspirated stops, we find the scale k> t> p with the velar stop triggering the largest VOT measurements.
Résumé : Ikerketa hori zubererazko herskari ahoskabe hasperendun eta hasperengabeen azterketa da. 66 eta 80 urte bitarteko lau hiztunen datuak harturik, herskari horien Ahots Abiatzearen Unea neurtu dugu (AAU). Neurtze lanek argi uzten dute Zubererak bi herskari mota dituela: herskari hasperendunek herskari hasperengabeek baino AAU laburragoa dute. Bestalde, erakustera ematen dugu azentuak ez duela eraginik bi herskari mota horien AAU-an (inglesez ez bezala, adibidez). Azkenik, ezaguna da AAUa aldatzen dela ahoskagunearen arabera. Espero izatekoa zen bezala, zuberotarrez ere herskari hasperendun eta hasperengabeen artean k>t>p eskala aurkitzen dugu, herskari belareak AAU luzeena biltzen duelarik.
